"Neechi jaati nahin hoti, soch aur rajniti hoti hai," he added.
Smriti Irani, BJP's candidate from Amethi, criticised Rahul Gandhi's comment and pointed out that for BJP low thinking politics' was "usurping flats meant for widows of Kargil martyrs, treating Pakistani prime minister on Biryani after the Pakistan Army beheaded two Indian soldiers and to allow millions of tonnes of foodgrain to rot in godowns rather than distributing it to the needy and poor".
